I guess not too many people here fly WestJet very often, since it seems that not too many care that employees get to travel before paying passengers (whoops, Guests).

If this thread had been about another case of a suspicion that an Air Canada employee flew in J but an Elite (on an L fare and no SSWU) was relegated to Y, there would have been four pages by now.

There is more talk over on AEF about this thread than here.
